DNC Hacker Releases Clinton Foundation Documents (washingtonexaminer.com)
An anonymous reader writes: Following a report that Russian hackers penetrated the DNC's database, a hacker, who identifies himself as "Guccifer 2.0" after a popular Romanian hacker who hacked various American political figures, most notably Hillary Clinton and her private server, has published documents on Tuesday that he says came from the party's digital files. The documents detail Clinton's weaknesses as a candidate, and include a collection of negative press clips about the Clinton Foundation and a list of defenses against attacks on her private email use. Washington Examiner reports: "Another document, titled '2016 Democrats Positions Cheat Sheet,' listed major policy issues and indicated where Clinton, Bernie Sanders, Martin O'Malley, Jim Webb, Lincoln Chaffee, Elizabeth Warren and Joe Biden -- all former or possible rivals for the Democratic nomination -- stood on each issue." The documents contain information ranging from how the Clinton Foundation and its allies should respond to criticisms of the Clinton Foundation's revenue sources to how Chelsea Clinton wasn't able to answer questions about Clinton Foundation donations and other instances in which Bill Clinton was called a "sexual predator" for his past indiscretions. Even though the cybersecurity breach was blamed on the Russian government, the Kremlin has denied any involvement. The DNC also has yet to confirm or deny the authenticity of the leaked documents.
It's always amusing to watch American Exceptionalists - who think nothing of killing millions of Vietnamese, Iraqis, global spying and torture - cast aspersions at foreign leaders who aren't in the business of bombing weddings and funerals.
It's really embarrassing who we have running for President. Neither one is worthy or skilled or trustworthy to hold the office. Has it really come down to cheats, liars, and ever other derogatory trait that we have. I hope a bunch of stuff totally kills both Clinton and Trump's hopes for President. Let's have a write in campaign and vote for people with some sense of moderate views that might actually believe in them too.
If you want to say Clinton isn't trustworthy that's fine, I think it's BS but it's your opinion.
But not skilled enough???
She's widely acknowledged to be a ridiculous policy wonk, she served 8 years as a senator, 4 years as secretary of state, 20 years as a politically involved first lady (first of Arkansas then the US), and she had a successful law career.
What else do you want for a candidate to be considered "skilled"?
I stole this Sig
You sound like you have a really tough life.
